Different Kind Of Car

1. Thanks for the link Kim fun video — but the car shown in the Thumbnail is a Charger and not a Challenger. The Charger was a “full sized” car with hidden headlights and the Challenger was a smaller “Pony sized” car. Similar looks in photos but much different in person.

   But since you weren’t here in the period, an easy mistake to make.

   1. Fixed. thankee.

      1. Nope, That’s just the next year of Charger. Says right on the hood graphic 440 Magnum engine. the Hemi 426 was a smaller displacement, but more powerful engine. and a charger would NOT fit on an english B road. The Charger was the Villian Car in Bullet — and the Challenger is the hero car in Vanishing Point.

2. When I was in London many years ago, I saw a Buick Electra 225, that thing took up almost the whole street.

3. That’s my favorite classic car.

4. My first car was a 68 Dodge Charger. Loved it. Wish I still had it.

   It only had a 318 in it though, which is probably why I wasn’t dead or in jail before I graduated High School.

   1. My dad had a ‘72 Dodge Dart with a 318. First engine I ever worked on. I used to sit on the edge of the hood with my feet dangling inside the engine bay while Dad worked on it. Wouldn’t trade those days for anything.

5. Isn’t that the Dukes of Hazzard car? I thought they got through a fair few of those cars, so I assume it was a more ordinary model.
